  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I have downloaded the latest MET (bug-fix version) and am trying to install it. It says that "netcdf: No such file or directory" and stops.
==================================================
In file included from nc_var_info.cc:24:
nc_utils.h:22:18: error: netcdf: No such file or directory
nc_utils.h:23: error: 'netCDF' is not a namespace-name
nc_utils.h:23: error: expected namespace-name before ';' token
nc_utils.h:66: error: expected ',' or '...' before '*' token
nc_utils.h:66: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'NcAtt' with no type

nc_utils.h:67: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'NcAtt' with no type
nc_utils.h:68: error: expected ',' or '...' before '*' token
==================================================

MET-Help email Archive is not working. How can I solve this problem?

Many thanks!

Hi.  I see that you are having trouble compiling the MET 6.0 bug-fix
version, specifically with regard to NETCDF.

In 6.0 we've made a large change from using NetCDF 3 to 4.  You'll
need to have both NetCDF 4 and HDF5, upon which NetCDF 4 is built,
installed.

Please feel free to take a look at the MET User's Guide and the online
tutorial:http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/docs/users_guide/MET_Users_Guide_v6.0.pdfhttp://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv6.0/tutorial.php?name=compilation&category=req_libs

There is an additional environment variable that will need to be set,
with the addition of HDF5:
Set *$MET_HDF5* to point to the main HDF5 directory.

Also, both the NetCDF-C package (netcdf-c-4.4.1.1) and the NetCDF-CXX
package (netcdf-cxx4-4.3.0) are required.

Here are the commands we've been using to compile these packages from
source.  The following assumes that you're using the GNU compilers and
that you've defined MET_LIB_DIR to point to your desired installation
directory:

# First pick where you'd like to install and define that as the
MET_LIB_DIR
environment variable:
setenv MET_LIB_DIR /path/to/lib/directory

# Compilers
setenv CC `which gcc`
setenv CXX `which g++`
setenv FC `which gfortran`
setenv F77 `which gfortran`

# HDF5
wget https://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/hdf5-1.10/hdf5-
1.10.0-patch1/src/hdf5-1.10.0-patch1.tar
tar -xvzf hdf5-1.10.0-patch1.tar
cd hdf5-1.10.0-patch1
./configure --prefix=${MET_LIB_DIR}
make install

# NetCDF-C
wget https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/archive/v4.4.1.1.zip
unzip v4.4.1.1.zip
cd netcdf-c-4.4.1.1
./configure --prefix=${MET_LIB_DIR} LDFLAGS=-L${MET_LIB_DIR}/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I${MET_LIB_DIR}/include
make install

# NetCDF-CXX
wget https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-cxx4/archive/v4.3.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf v4.3.0.tar.gz
cd netcdf-cxx4-4.3.0
./configure --prefix=${MET_LIB_DIR} LDFLAGS=-L${MET_LIB_DIR}/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I${MET_LIB_DIR}/include
make install

I hope this helps!  Please let us know if you're able to get a
successful installation of MET or if you need further assistance.

Thanks,

Julie
